What
is Internet Data Exchange (IDX)?
Internet
Data Exchange (IDX), also referred to as Broker Reciprocity, provides
an avenue for agents and brokers' offices to share online property
listings with other real estate professionals. Agents and offices
who participate in the program can display active listings from
their area without sharing the listing agent's contact information.
With IDX Pro, agents can offer their clients greater service while
optimizing their own exposure and leads.
The
National Associaton of REALTORS® (NAR) has mandated that this
program be available for all brokers to download active listing
information from their local MLS to their Internet websites.
How
does IDX Pro benefit Real Estate Professionals?
| |
 |
Offers
greater exposure for agents by providing them with an avenue
to market themselves and their listings to a larger pool of
customers.
|
| |
 |
Allows
agents to forge stronger relationships with their customers
by providing them with comprehensive local market information
and a wider range of property choices.
|
| |
 |
Lets
agents obtain and maintain first contact with the consumer in
a real estate transaction. Every e-mail sent from your site
will have your contact information rather than the listing agent's
information. This provides greater assurance that potential
buyers will not be lost to another broker or agent.

IDX
Pro offers you a better way to serve the increasingly growing
market of Internet home buyers and sellers. As agents become more
innovative in offering on-line services, IDX Pro
gives you the ability to offer your clients the convenience of one
stop home shopping.
